Tremont

Tremont is a residential neighborhood in The Bronx, New York City, located in the western parts of the borough. The neighborhood was given its name by a postmaster during the early 1800s, as the postmaster noticed that there were three neighborhoods named after mountains in the area: Mount Eden, Mount Hope, and Fairmount, leading to him giving it the French name "Tremont". In 2011, Tremont had a population of 24,739 people, with 67.5% being Hispanic (mostly from the Dominican Republic, some from Puerto Rico) and 27.1% being African-American.
